End game in Nepal

The only thing that matters short-term now is how long the Army stays loyal, and I’m thinking, not much longer. Would you risk your life to protect this ruling class?

At a dinner I attended with the family of a government minister last week, the official’s wife complained wearily: “I’m so tired of all this talk of democracy.” Afterwards, a fellow diner, who is a Sandhurst-trained officer, branded his hosts “awful people” and confided: “I support democracy.”

In the upcoming Constituent Assembly, the masses will simply overwhelm the bourgeois parties with democratic demands which obsolete bourgeois democratic forms — this the maoists will make sure they will not be diverted from, by guile or coercion. It’s masterful.

And so when the counter-revolutionary push comes, now the communists will have the majority of the urban masses onside.
As Mr T. might say: “Pity the fool” who attempts that gambit.
